Statement by the spokesperson of EU High Representative
Catherine Ashton on fighting in the Kachin State in Myanmar
The spokesperson of Catherine Ashton, High Representative of the
Union for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy and Vice President of the Commission, issued the
following statement today:
The High Representative is deeply concerned about the continuous
fighting in the Kachin State,
putting at risk the nation-wide peace process and the gains
already made. The latest reports of the
shelling of Laiza and the resulting deaths of innocent civilians
are particularly troubling. They
point to a dangerous escalation of the conflict leading to more
suffering for the people in Kachin.
The High Representative urges all sides to end the hostilities
and to engage in dialogue towards a
settlement in earnest immediately.
The EU also continues to stress the urgency of providing
unhindered access for humanitarian relief
to the displaced population.
